Which one is better: DTU, NSIT or IIIT Delhi?

For candidates who are interested in research, innovation, and higher studies, IIIT Delhi is definitely a better choice among the three. But students, who are interested in placement, infrastructure, and college life, should prefer NSIT or DTU for an engineering degree. 

There are several reasons to support my choice -

• In IIIT Delhi, there is more workload in engineering, compared to other institutes. But, even after having such a curriculum, the placement statistics are not as good as DTU or NSIT. With an increasing batch size in IIIT Delhi, there is a significant fall in placement percentage at the institute. 
• In 2020, there is a 38% full-time offer for 2021 graduates and 19% internship offers for 2022 graduates, in a batch size of 310 and 382 respectively. The incoming batch comprises 524 students, which may create a further shortage in placement.
• In IIIT Delhi, every company visiting the campus for placement allows CSE, CSAM, and ECE branches and almost 75% of them allow CSD, CSB, and CSSS. Although there is a downfall in placement percentage at DTU and NSIT due to the COVID pandemic, they are still in a better position than IIIT Delhi.
• Students in IIIT Delhi, have no proper placement guidance they have to prepare themselves, with their normal course work. Students succeeding can get a good placement in IIIT Delhi. For students in NSIT and DTU, the first two years are critical in which they need to improve their skill-set.
• Institutes like DTU and NSIT have an extensive alumni base and a brand value, better for a corporate reach. There are no non-tech companies that visit IIIT Delhi during placements.
• Due to the difficult curriculum in IIIT Delhi, getting a good GPA score is much harder for students, than students in NSIT or DTU. 
• Students of NSIT or DTU study two weeks before the semester to get a decent GPA score, but for IIIT Delhi, students need to work from the first day of the class.
• NSIT and DTU provide several extra-curricular activities like cultural and sports events. IIIT Delhi, on the other hand, is a growing institute, but still is making up a good place in these events, with a lot of enthusiasm and participation of students.

Therefore, considering the opportunities in research and having an extensive curriculum and course structure, IIIT Delhi is definitely one of India’s best institutes. But for enjoying college life and getting a good placement at the same time, DTU and NSIT should be considered.
